Total Current Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Total Current:

\[ IT = \frac{VT}{RT} \]

What is Total Current?

Total current is the amount of electric current flowing through a circuit. It is calculated by dividing the total voltage by the total resistance. This measurement is important in electrical engineering and physics to understand the behavior of electrical circuits.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Total Voltage \( VT \) = 120 volts
Total Resistance \( RT \) = 10 ohms

Step 1: Divide the VT by the RT:

\[ IT = \frac{VT}{RT} = \frac{120}{10} = 12 \]

So, the Total Current \( IT \) is 12 amps.
